What is the difference between an island and a mainland?
An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water. A mainland is a larger body of land surrounded by water. A mainland is the largest of the other islands. A mainland isn't determined by size, it's determined by size compared to other islands. For example; Hawaii is a mainland. Kauai is an island. This is because Hawaii is larger than Kauai. Depending on how you look at it, Hawaii would be an island, and North America would be the mainland.A mainland is an island, but an island isn't always a mainland.

What is the wildlife in islands?
Depends entirely on which island and how much of the evolutionary journey took place after it split from the mainland. Borneo and sumatra are islands which support large forests with orangutans tigers leopards elephants and many more species. Madagascar is differet- because it split so early, almost all the wildlife found there is unique to madagascar (lemurs). There is also a strange thing which often happens, which is that after the island splits from the mainland the animals tend to get bigger (or on occasion smaller)- the bears and wolves in britain were larger than mainland europe, the tortoises of the galapogas are larger than mainland versions. The Komodo dragons of Komodo are far larger than mainland versions
